    Christmas Lights Revelation !

    I paid to have my Christmas lights put up. I put it off, and held out for as long as possible. I finally gave in and it's wonderful.

    I do miss a little of the nostalgia of spending the day and putting them up myself, but the 4 guys put them up in 45 mins, and will come take them down. They even cleaned up after themselves, and put them on a timer! They look better than I have ever done in the history of ever.

    My 4 kids absolutely love them.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to me!

          You missed out on a whole afternoon of b**ching, moaning and throwing things.

                    Do they sell you the lights, you supply them, or do you rent them from them and they take them when they take them down?

                      First year, you buy the lights, or you can buy the commercial grade yourself, and they will put them up.

                      They take them down, and then you store them.

                          That's a steal.

                            Just completed my annual ritual on Sunday:

                            1) Go in the attic and pull down the 10 lighted wreaths we hang on the the windows that face the street

                            2) Plug them all in to test the lights

                            3) Utter first cuss word of the Yuletide season

                            4) Try to decide if I should attempt to convince my wife to blow off the decorations for this year.

                            5) Go to WalMart and buy more lights.

                            7) Rewrap the wreaths with the new lights and test them again

                            8) Second cuss word uttered.

                            9) Back to WalMart to exchange just-purchased lights that don't work.
                            (still stubbornly refusing to buy the expensive LEDs)

                            9) Finally get all wreaths to light up

                            10) Borrow extension ladder from neighbor

                            11) Get reminded that my balance is not what it used to be as I climb 30 feet up holding a wreath in my teeth so I can use both hands on the ladder

                            12) Back to Walmart because I can't find the extension cords

                            13) Hey it works!

                            14) Swear I am going to either pay someone to do this next year or leave them up year round

                              I’m getting real close to paying someone to do mine. Would you mind posting up some pics?
